I have owned and loaded for several Stevens and Savage marked .30-30 bolt action rifles and the two things you need to consider are the limitations of the magazine and the strength of the bolt. The single lug design is not terribly strong and most of those rifles are a half century old with very likely a lot of hard use behind them.Savage cuz I don't think the Winchester's or Remington's are worth the grand people are asking for them.
I’m not saying don’t do it. I’m saying think hard about whether that’s really the best platform for starting out with reloading for rifle.
